Evans, Charles M. - Evans, Angela E., "Plague – a disease of children and servants? A study of the parish records of St Peter upon Cornhill, London from 1580 to 1605", Continuity and Change, 34 (2019), 183-208.

Resum: A study of the parish records of St Peter upon Cornhill in London from 1580 to 1605revealed that children suffered a greater increase in mortality than adults in the plagueyears of 1593 and 1603, and servants accounted for the majority of deaths within the15–24 age group. Some family groups avoided the plague altogether, others suffered a sin-gle burial, however in some cases, individuals within the same family household were bur-ied within a short period of each other. The epidemiological pattern is complex and ismoderated by social and demographic networks. Comparisons are made with modern epi-demics caused by Yersinia pestis.
